Glenn Beck spent the past week denouncing the liberal billionaire and philanthropist George Soros as a "puppet master" who is orchestrating a coup "to bring America to her knees." Given Soros' alleged role plotting to destroy the United States, Beck and his Fox viewership might be surprised to learn that one of Sarah Palin's top aides has been on Soros' payroll for years. That would be Republican lobbyist Randy Scheunemann, Palin's foreign policy adviser and a member of her small inner circle. He runs a Washington, D.C., consulting firm called Orion Strategies. Scheunemann and a partner have since 2003 been paid over $150,000 by one of Soros' organizations for lobbying work, according to federal disclosure forms reviewed by Salon. The lobbying, which has continued to the present, centers on legislation involving sanctions and democracy promotion in Burma. Scheunemann's client is the Open Society Policy Center, a DC-based advocacy group founded and funded by Soros. The Open Society Policy Center says on its website that it "encourages Congress and the Administration to press the military dictatorship in Burma to restore political rights and democracy." In the course of Beck's three-day look at Soros' network of organizations and his links to Democratic politicians, the fact that a top aide to a likely GOP presidential candidate has been retained by a Soros outfit did not come up. Scheunemann is known as a longtime neoconservative who pushed for the U.S. invasion of Iraq and for support for Georgia. He has been strongly identified with Palin since he met her while working as the chief foreign policy adviser of the McCain campaign in 2008 (see a classic picture of Scheunemann and Palin doing debate prep here). Since then, Scheunemann has taken on an increasingly prominent role in Palin-land. He traveled with her to Hong Kong for a speech in September 2009. In the second quarter of 2010, Scheunemann's Orion Strategies was paid $30,000 by Palin's political action committee for consulting on "national and international issues." Palin even recommended Scheunemann -- along with Orion Strategies staffer and former McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb -- as debate prep coaches to doomed Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell. They subsequently spent a day helping O'Donnell. We reached out to Goldfarb Thursday afternoon to see if Orion had any comment about its work for Soros, and we will update this post if we hear back. Here, finally, is one of the lobbying disclosure forms that shows Scheunemann's work for Open Society (the rest can be found by searching here):

I suppose you are still going to claim there is a huge difference between the Dims and the RINO's when it comes to character,honestly,and principle?

Soro's wants to destroy America as we know it. His own words. Apparently you've got his back...seems that way. I hope I'm wrong about this, GO.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Apparently you've got his back...seems that way. Palin's aide is on Soros' payroll - so thus, using Glenn Beck logic, Palin wants to destroy America.
I hope I'm wrong about this, GO. go65 is a socialist, and a traitor to this country. He backs ALL the socialists- oBUMa, Pelosi, Reid... and Soros. He stands with them, against America. Same for Brian S. Ironic... as much as I despise Dondero (in ALL his incarnations), at least he promotes and defends the country, and is therefore FAR better than go65 or Brian S. May ALL of the socialists share the same fate as Mussolini. Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.
Can you refute anything Beck's reported related to Soro's?

I don't see how anyone thats an American Citizen could possibly defend or support George Soros. Its unfucking believable.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
So an aid of Palin is on a group that receives some funds from a group associated with Soros for one project in Burma. And the logic of this is supposed to be that Palin, and by extension, Beck secretly supports Soros? Is it any wonder the American people gave you libtards the middle finger a week ago?
And the logic of this is supposed to be that Palin, and by extension, Beck secretly supports Soros? Using the "logic" that argues that Soros sent Jews to death camps, we can conclude that Palin supports Soros, and thus supported the Holocaust. Joe Miller, Sharon Angle, and Christine O'Donnell say "Hi"
And yet Sarah Palin employes those on Soros's payroll. yep.
I doubt thats accurate, but whatever.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Yep, his firm apparently did some contract work for one of the dozens of Soros controlled entities. Doesn't make him an 'employee'.

Obama/Palin 2012! /s New ping list created. Let me know if you want to be a co-owner.
I think the real question is just how far is Palin separated from Kevin Bacon?
"Randall J Scheunemann is an American lobbyist. He is the President of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, which was created by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Scheunemann Sarah has infiltrated Soros.

You bet. Thanks.

Personally,I think killing his girlfriend was excessive. A terrible waste of genes.
